Installing on a USB drive

[Bill Davidsen]

If you did an install on a USB drive to avoid space issues on the 
internal drives, (a) where will the boot install, and (b) what will 
happen if the USB drive is unplugged?

I have a laptop and don't want to mess with the internal drive with FC4, 
Win2k, and Slackware installed,I use it for training. I'd like to put 
Ubuntu on a plug-in, but I don't want to outsmart myself.
